It might work sometimes. But once dogs are zombified, they are far more dangerous than rabid dogs and ought to be put down.

There is an aggro mechanic with the dogs. I exploited it in a bunch of No Save No Damage attempts in RE1. I never completed No Save No Damage in RE1, but I cleared sections with dogs every time without aggroing them. All you have to do is casually walk around them and they don't charge after you. But if they're running, you'd better run.

Yea dogs mostly wont bother you if you slowly walk by them when theyre walking. Just dont walk into them and youll be fine. And if theyre already running, walking wont help.
